Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kickers

Kickers

By Pat Fitzmaurice

Matt Prater (K – BUF): 36% Rostered

Next Opponents: NO, NE, @ATL
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: This could be Matt Prater’s last game with the Bills, as Tyler Bass is eligible to come off IR in Week 5. Prater is primed for a big game this week, with the high-scoring Bills hosting the hapless Saints, who have allowed an average of 30 points through their first three games.

Spencer Shrader (K – IND): 27% Rostered

Next Opponents: @LAR, LV, ARI
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: The Colts’ offense is on a heater, and Spencer Shrader has been cashing in. He’s already kicked 11 field goals with only one miss, and he’s also banged home 10 extra points. Shrader will have pristine kicking conditions in SoFi Stadium this Sunday in a road game against the Rams that has the potential to be a high-scoring affair.

Joshua Karty (K – LAR): 5% Rostered

Next Opponents: IND, SF, @BAL
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $1
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Never mind that Joshua Karty had a potential game-winning field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown by the Eagles in Week 3. Karty made four field goals and a pair of extra points in that game. The second-year kicker is tied to a potent Rams offense, and the Rams host the Colts this week in a game that profiles as a high-scoring shootout.

Jason Myers (K – SEA): 3% Rostered

Next Opponents: @ARI, TB, @JAX
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $1
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: After scoring 13 points in a Week 1 loss to the 49ers, the Seahawks have rolled up 75 points over the last two weeks in wins over the Steelers and Saints. Jason Myers is 6-of-7 on field goals and 10-of-10 on extra points this season.

Matt Gay (K – WSH): 18% Rostered

Next Opponents: @ATL, @LAC, CHI
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $1
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Matt Gay is only 3-of-6 on field-goal attempts this season, but in fairness, two of the misses were from 50+ yards, and he’s made two field goals from beyond 50 yards. He’s a perfect 9-of-9 on extra points. Gay gets an indoor game in Atlanta this week against a Falcons squad that just gave up 30 points to the Panthers. Then, it’s another indoor game in Week 5 against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
